Perhaps they saw themselves in the song.
But when they turned their heads, they found Xu Yun completely unaffected, simply helping himself to the food.
Seeing everyone looking at him,
he said, "Don’t just listen to Miss Lin sing. You should eat sothing. There’s still so much food here, don’t let it go to waste."
"Hahaha..."
Everyone was stunned for a mont before Zheng Yi laughed. "You know, I actually am hungry. Save a big crab for ."
The lancholic atmosphere was instantly shattered by Xu Yun.
For the next hour, they continued to eat and sing.
The songs they chose were no longer so sorrowful, but more passionate, like "Friends," "Glorious Years," and "Singles’ Dog Alliance."
Zheng Yi and Xu Yun even belted out a rendition of "Love to the Death."
They nearly scread themselves breathless.
In Xu Yun’s words, life isn’t just about regrets and romance; there’s plenty of beauty in it too.
We should be happy. We can’t just dwell on the past; we have to look to the future.
When the dinner party ended, Xu Yun paid the bill, which ca out to over eight thousand yuan.
The system rewarded him with 188,888 yuan.
It seed he had really indulged himself tonight, acting just as he pleased.
After so polite words from President Wei, the group left the hotel.
Since everyone had been drinking, they couldn’t drive. They had to either call for a designated driver or get a taxi ho.
Zhu Jingheng wanted to drive Lin Xi ho, but she turned him down.
Zheng Yi called a designated driver and left. He had drunk the most tonight and seed genuinely happy.
Gao Wenwen left in a car by herself.
Soon, only Xu Yun and Lin Xi were left.
"Miss Lin, my car only seats two. Besides the designated driver and , there’s no room for a third person."
Xu Yun explained, "Let call a car to take you ho."
"Xu Yun, you seem to really hate ."
Lin Xi suddenly asked, "Did I do sothing to upset you?"
"Why would you say that?"
Xu Yun said in surprise, "I don’t hate you."
"Is that so?"
Lin Xi sounded aggrieved. "Then why is your attitude toward so obviously different from your attitude toward Gao Wenwen? It’s like you’re deliberately keeping your distance from ."
"I’m keeping my distance because the class president likes you. I’m just afraid he’ll get the wrong idea."
Xu Yun said, "A friend’s woman is off-limits. How could I try to steal the class president’s girl?"
"I have nothing to do with Zhu Jingheng. We’re not a couple."
Lin Xi argued, "It’s his business if he likes , but I don’t like him. Not in high school, and not now."
"Co on, Lin Xi. Our dear class president might be a little childish, but his family is well-off."
Xu Yun continued, "He’s worth tens of millions. Aside from not being as handso as , he’s actually a great catch."
"But I just don’t like him. You can’t force feelings."
"Hold on, Lin Xi, why are you suddenly telling all this?"
Xu Yun feigned confusion. "Don’t tell you’ve actually been in love with this whole ti?"
"Mhm."
Lin Xi nodded. "In high school, you liked . I knew that. I liked you too, but..."
"But my family had no money, right?"
"I was young and naive then. I didn’t know what love was, so I didn’t make the right choice.
Now I understand. When you like soone, you just like them. Nothing else matters, whether they have money or not."
Lin Xi looked at Xu Yun with deep emotion and said, "Xu Yun, since we both have regrets, can we make up for them together?"
Xu Yun couldn’t help but sneer internally.
’This acting is way better than so of those actresses on TV.’
’Of all the acts to pull on , you choose devoted love?’
If Lin Xi had just been straightforward and said to him, "Xu Yun, I liked you back then, but you didn’t have money, so I didn’t choose you.
Now you’re rich, and I want to be with you. I’m just in it for your money. I just want to live the high life with you."
If she had been that version of Lin Xi, he might have even respected her a little more.
He might have even fulfilled her wish on a whim.
As long as she slept with him, he wouldn’t have cared about letting her make a fortune off him.
But now? He wasn’t even remotely tempted.
He hated won who put on a virtuous act.
Besides, her chest was so small. The him from back then must have been really inexperienced.
"A life without regrets is an incomplete one."
Xu Yun smiled. "You should go ho and get so sleep. You have work tomorrow, unlike a lazy bum like who can sleep in every day."
"..." Lin Xi was speechless.
Seeing that she still had no intention of leaving, Xu Yun said bluntly, "Fine. If you really want to make up for our regrets, let’s go sleep together."
"Xu Yun, what kind of person do you take for!"
Lin Xi felt utterly humiliated. She said angrily, "Am I that kind of easy woman in your eyes?"
"I don’t know if you’re easy or not, but if you want to date and be my girlfriend, that’s definitely not happening."
Xu Yun said calmly, "Because right now, with any woman, I only sleep with them. I don’t do relationships.
Of course, there’s always money involved."
"Xu Yun, even if you don’t like anymore, you don’t have to humiliate like this!"
Humiliated and furious, Lin Xi’s eyes reddened. She turned and stord away.
She thought Xu Yun would run after her, but he just stood there without moving an inch.
He pursed his lips and even kindly shouted, "Be careful on your way!"
After sending his "white moonlight" away, Xu Yun prepared to hail a taxi ho.
He had no choice. He had called several designated drivers, but they all said they couldn’t handle his car, afraid they would damage it.
But just as he reached the middle of the road, he saw Gao Wenwen, who was supposed to have left long ago, sitting on the edge of a planter and still there.
Xu Yun walked up and asked curiously, "Teacher Gao, why haven’t you left yet?"
"Waiting for you."
